ANDALUSIAN RESCUE CENTRE FOR HORSES (ARCH)
“I said, “Somebody should do something about that“.
Then I realised, I am somebody” – Lily Tomlin.
What We Do
RESCUING HORSES, PONIES & DONKEYS
We are a registered charity and work closely with Seprona (environmental law enforcement) and the local police, as we have no powers to confiscate.
To report an Equine in Distress, please click on the following link.
REHABILITATION & REHOMING
Once our horses and donkeys are fully rehabilitated, our main aim is to find them a forever home.
To see our available equines and complete an online adoption form, click on ‘Adopt’.
To view some of our favourite ‘before and after’ success stories, view the e-book.
VOLUNTARY SUPPORT
Our charity is staffed by volunteers and we depend on fundraising activities and donations to carry on our work. Your support will mean a great deal.
Featured Equines
Torda
Grey Mare
Born 2021
Confiscated from Huelva province with others, starving and neglected.
Young and relatively unhandled. Learning to trust humans after a bad start.
In foster locally, can be seen by appointment.
Emcee
Grey gelding
150cm
Born 2021
Confiscated from Huelva with others, starving and neglected.
He has had little sympathetic handling, so needs to learn to trust humans..
Caramelo
Bay gelding
152cm
Born 2015
Caramelo is friendly and inquisitive.
He has an old injury to his hoof that required additional surgery.
After various surgeries with only slight improvement, it was decided that he needed to go to the equine hospital in Cordoba..
Caramelo has returned and is recovering well. We hope the wound will not return, but there are unfortunately no guarantees.
Guapa
Grey Mare
+-162cm
Born 1996
Guapa is calm and gentle and is good with children. Can handle a little light riding only.
Confiscated in Cartama with Chusca, Curra and 10 other horses in an appalling condition.
This old lady deserves a loving home.
Abha
Grey Arab mare
148cm
Born 2000
Abha is calm and friendly once she makes a connection. Can handle a light rider but needs a very experienced home.
She was confiscated by Seprona in Orgiva.
Torero
Palomino Gelding
168cm
Born 1999
Torero has a friendly character. He is affectionate and good with children, however, not for novices.
Castrated and has had a phallectomy. He arrived on the 11th of March following a police raid on an unscrupulous horse dealer.
